Twitter in hot water after accidentally exposing 330 million users' password
According to a mail twitter sent out they're the second victim in a recent spree of log-related password exposing bugs, however compared to Github, this affected all 330 million users.
In the email Twitter states:
When you set a password for your Twitter account, we use technology that masks it so no one at the company can see it. We recently identified a bug that stored passwords unmasked in an internal log. We have fixed the bug, and our investigation shows no indication of breach or misuse by anyone.
Even though they claim that the bug haven't been misused it's better to be safe than sorry and change your password everywhere you have used it.
